I have seen this power supply for sale in multiple locations. I really like the idea of module power lines (looks cleaner and more orginized then standard)

Does anyone know anything good or bad about this unit?

Ultra ULT31554 X-Connect 500W ATX# Retail

A 500W Ultra failed during one magazine's test, it failed to boot a computer in another test, and a third reviewer found the fan to be noisy. All of these tests used fairly heavy loads rather than just a computer as all highly favorable reviews have. Apparently Ultra gets its power supplies from several manufacturers, including Wintech, which has produced adequate but not outstanding products.

Antec also produces a supply with removable cables.

I read some favorable reviews of the OCZ Modstream.
